Two senior police officers and six civilians lost their lives under unclear circumstances in Kapedo. These incidents happened during police operations in the area with an aim to bring to an end cattle rustling, which has been rampant in that region. It is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following issues among others: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a chronology of events that led to the loss of lives of the two senior police officers and six civilians, who died in the hands ...

Hon. Speaker, let me just stress this final part. As it is now, there is a lot of suffering in Tiaty because of the massive roadblocks that have been erected all over the place. The police have suspended the law. They are doing very bad things to the people. My Personal Assistant was arrested and he has not been found up to date. Several things are happening. The police are burning food. They stop vehicles carrying food, they put the food on the floor and burn all manner of food. So, is it a deliberate attempt by the Government to ...

Hon. Speaker, I appreciate what Hon. Peter Kaluma is saying. Except, if they go after 28 days as he is saying, they will find no one to speak to. The situation is dire. If they are not able to access Kapedo, they can as well go to Chemolingot, the constituency headquarters. The only insecurity in Chemolingot is caused by the Government. It is not caused by bandits. It is the police who have erected roadblocks within and around Chemolingot and Loruk areas. They can go to Chemolingot tomorrow. There is no insecurity in Chemolingot unless the Member is telling me ...

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Peter Kaluma has misled the House. The summoning of the CS was to deal with issues of Marsabit. The issues of Tiaty were not discussed. I wrote to the Chairman of the Committee and appeared before the Committee and I was told to say what it is that I wanted to say. I was given very few minutes to say some few words and then I was told to leave the Committee. We have not had a very serious and thorough engagement with the CS and the security people. We are talking about the lives of both ...
